2002

Some plays win you over with wit, some by stealth. Wexford’s Billy Roche does it by atmosphere. At the end of this reprise of his 1993 `homage’ to small-town living, you realise he has, once again, woven a little tapestry of magic. A whole way of being, probably gone for ever, has been caught but in so doing, he has revealed certain verities that never die.
